5.5/10Set up was really tight and had to ask the staff to move other tables and chairs so we could sit around our table of 5 that we reserved in advance. The food was disappointing with flavourless fried risotto, hardly any cheese on it and over thinned dry veal. The waiter took the empty plates away while others in the party were still eating, and someone even had their plate picked up while still chewing their last bite. Toilet was simply disgusting with paper all over the floor and a filthy cubicle. Needless to say we left swiftly.

7/10Nice location on canal but at the back of the building so no view. Our starter (Zucchini Flan) was very nice as was our dessert (Tiramisu). However one of the Primi plates we ordered (potato gnocchi) was bland. The other Primi (tagliatelle with asparagus) was quite good but both the main dishes (sea bream and lamb) were both very bland and disappointing.

8.5/10Food was good not spectacular. Good wine list, and generous pour by the glass. Tournedos Rossini could have been more generous with the foie gras. Osso buco and Risotto were correct. Desserts ok. Expensive for what it was.

5/10The restaurant vibe was beautiful and within minutes of it opening it became full. The good things end there. The wait staff seemed most concerned with getting us out of the restaurants as soon as possible. They offered passive aggressive and mean responses to questions about the menu. When we asked for a recommendation between 2 options, the waiter scoffed and said “everything.” When we asked about a wine, the waiter again said “everything.” There was zero desire to help or provide any suggestion. The food was also sub par. We left half the food because it was over cooked or not flavorful.

6.5/10Very pretty restaurant but food is lacking quality. Nothing special. Service was quick but not particularly friendly.

10/10A friend recommended the food here, and she said that we just had to go. We are so glad we went. The food was excellent, the rissoto! the osobuco! the wine! The service! Part of me wishes to have discovered the place earlier. Wilson

9/10Best osso buco I have had in a long time. Soft and tender meat and great risotto. Enjoyed the chianti as well. Service was adequate but didn't overwhelm. Lovely place to eat.

10/10We enjoyed an excellent meal with very competent and friendly service. The restaurant was recommended by multiple people and you lived up to his reputation.

5/10I would not recommend this restaurant. Although the staff was very eager to help the food was not to Italian standards for the price. Will not be back

6.5/10Food was okay. But not up to expectations. Classic dishes very good. However I ordered beef sirloin in truffle butter and it had no butter at all nor truffles anyway. Also it was served with a grilled lettuce or something really bitter. Impossible to swallow. Disgusting.

10/10I would highly recommend for a traditional Italian meal in a slightly hidden canal side setting in the centre of Milan. The food quality was high and the price represented good value.
